DIR. McGIynn UnfrOcked

NEW YORK, July 9.-The bolt that
has for weeks been hanging over the
head of DIR. McGIynn has fallen. He
has been accommodated, and hence
forth will be to the Church of Rome as
though he had never lived. The Papal
brief ordering his formal excommuni-
cation has been received, and accom-
panied by a letter from Archbishop
Corrigan, will be read in all the Cath
Ole Churches of this diocese tomorrow
The Papal brief is not long, but is very
much to the point. 1t sets forth the
contumacy of the eX-prieSt and refers
with sorrow to his persistence in defy
ing the church which has been so
anxious to see him repent and do pen
ance for the scandal that he has made.
1t explains at length the necessity of
the present act, and compliments
ArchB Bishop COrrigan on his firmness
and discretion, and ends by instruct
ing him to publish the degree of excom-
municatiOn in his archdiocese at once.
The letter from the Archbishop will
recite anew the anxious efforts of the
local Church authorities to bring DIR
McGlynn to a proper sense of his due
ties as priest, and conclude by eXhort
ing the faithful to obey implicitly the
mandate from Rome with reference to
the unfrOcked priest. This is the last
act in this strange drama SO far as the
Church itself is concerned. DIR. Me-
Glynn is entirely cut off from it, and
the Catholics are not supposed to as
sOciate with him. All sacraments are
withheld from him. A priest who
should even give him dissolution on his
dying bed would be liable to be I'M
frOcked.

CureIn-a Denial.

NEW YORK, July 12.-General Roger
A. Pryor, who was member of the
confederate congress, spoke to Her
aid reporter yesterday of a dispatch in
which jefferson Davis was represented
rs charging that plot was laid during
the war to aSSaSSinate the president of
the confederacy. General Pryor de-
nounced the story of the alleged assas-
sination as ridiculous ON its very
.face.' He said: 81 never heard of the
circumstances here detailed. do not
believe any person holding a RESPONSE
BILE position in the north would hire an
assassin to come down and kill Mr..
Davis. The narrative does not sound
like Mr.. Davis. An attempt to aSsas-
sinate the president of the confedeTacy
would have been heard of, and would
have shocked the whole confederacy. -
In regard to the charges made in the
Davis interview against Ex-Governor
Curtin of Pennsylvania, in response to
an inquiry from the editor of the Her
aid, the war governor makes the fol-
lowing statement:
PHILADELPHIA, July 11.-EditoT
Herald: There is not one word OF
truth in what is said to have been ut
tered by jefferson Davis about me.

CIaiming tiae spoiIs.

MADISON, Wis, July 13.-The Chi
cago, Milwaukee s. st. Paul railroad
began suit against the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis s. Omaha company
to recover lands and benefits valued at
SOS, O00,O 900. A few years ago the st.
Paul company agreed with the Omaha
company not to attempt to secure from
the state of Wisconsin the possession
of a rich land grant now known as the
Omaha grant. In return the Omaha
company agreed in the event of its own
success to give one-fourth of the grant
to the st. Paul company and also to al
low it certain track privileges on the
line from Chippewa Falls to Superior.
The st. Paul company now seeks to eu-
force this contract, while the Omaha
company combats it on the ground that
the agreement is contrary to public
policy and that the st. Paul company
never gave any legal or valid consider
alton for the benefits now claimed in
this suit

received long complaint from Nelson
l.. Derby, of st. Thomas, Dakota,
/ which is supplementary to those al
ready received from other farmers of
that vicinity, alleging refusal on the
part Of the Manitoba Railroad Com
pany to furnish cars for the shipment
OF the wheat crop of that region. This,
like previous complaints from that
neighborhood, assumes to speak for the
entire community of farmers, and bears
evidence OF being the outcome of a
general movement of farmers for relief.
1t AYERS that the local press is muzzled;
that the free pass system is in full OPP
Grafton as before the passage of the
Interstate Law, and that the prosper
1ty OF the community hangs upon the
Intervention Of the Commission. 1t is
stated as a prevailing belief among
farmers, that the proprietor of
collision with the railroad
authorities has reached a position
from which he controls the price of
wheat, if not through the entire cOun-
try, certainly through the spring wheat
belt of the Northwest. The complain
ant narrates some past experiences,
among them the receipt from the rail-
wheat through the particular eleva-
tors, accompanied tby the insinuation
that if he did not wish to do SO he
could stop raising wheat, At one time
he says farmers seized the cars despite
the railroad people and loaded their
wheat, which resulted in the adoption
of plan by the railroad of keeping
their empty cars at distance from the
wheat stations. A quorum of the Com
mission are at their desks to-day, and
all are expected to be present to-mor-
row, when hearing will be given in
the matter of the complaint by the
Orange County Milk Producers against
certain railroads, charging discrfmina-
ton in rates.

settled aGrudge.

LITCHFIELD, KY, July 12.-Early
yesterday morning a party of farmers
started to go to Golf, small place in
EdmunstOn county, and just before
crossing the line two of the party,
named James Holcomb and John
Deeze, separated from their compan-
ions, saying they were going to settle
grudge they had against old man
William Oller and his son Jake. When
they reached the Oller house, they
found the father had gone to the or
ehard. They opened the trouble by
threatening Jake with bodily harm.
and the latter responded by emptying
charge of shot into Deeze's head,
killing him instantly. William OlleI
heard the shot, and seeing HOlcomh
running toward him thought he had
killed Jake and, naturally, he shot at
HOlcomb, the shot taking effect in his
breast, killing him almost instantly.

louisville, Pa, July lotto, one
Of the best collieries of the Philadelphia
s. Reading company, located at branch
dale, near Pottsville, is on fire and is
probably doomed to destruction, entail
ing loss to the company approximate
ing 800, 900. The fire was discovered
about 0 o'clock Sunday night. 1t is
believed it was ignited from steam pipes
whick worked inside the pumps An
effort was first made to smother the
fire with steam, but before morning the
flames were leaping thirty feet above
the mouth OF the slope. A neighbor-
/ ing stream was diverted and coal dirt
was washed into the air-way to cut on
the fire from the Primrose and Mann
moth veins. If this has not succeeded
the colliery is doomed. Smoke still
issues from the pit, indicating the con
| tinued presence of fire.

nified withdrawal. They believe the
seating of colored clergYmen in the
convention to be not only unconstitu-
tional but dangerous, and in this rela-
ton recall number of prec-
edents. The committee are conf
dent that the actual and practical
results of admitting colored people into
councils and churches on equal terms
with the whites would be to force ne
gro social equality upon the people.
The duty and responsibility of the
church in the southern states in regard
to the colored people is fully recognized,
but there is no call to take them into
our councils. In the view of the COM
mittee, therefore, the convention of
1887 was illegal. The report sets forth
that those who withdrew represented
more than one-half Of the church MEM
bership and paying two-thirds of the
convention expenses, the bishops
fund and the missionary fund. The
committee declare that they did not
withdraw from the church, and say
that if the laity are not satisfied with
their course others who are in accord
with the bishops ideas on the subject
may be chosen to represent them.

PITTsBURG, July "a Chronicle
Telegraph Uniontown, Pa, special
says: The coke strike has not yet nd
ed. The action of yesterdays conven-
ton in offering to resume the work i f
sliding scale was agreed to, caused a
good deal of dissatisfaction, and an
other meeting will be held on Monday,
when it will probably be decided to
continue the strike. Notwithstanding
this, the operators seem to be on top,
and general resumption is regarded
as only question of short time. A
dispatch from Dawson says 200 Swedes
marched to the Jimtown works at noon
and notified the superintendent that
they were ready to go to work. AT
Everson the excitement is intense. The
strikers held another meeting to-day
and resolved not to be governed by the
action taken yesterday, but to stand
out for an advance. The leaders favor
a resumption at old wages, but the
rank and file want an increase.
